The hardness of the diamond is due to its carbon. So also the hardness of coal depends upon the amount of carbon it contains. And the more carbon the greater the burning quality. LEHIGH VALLEY ANTHRACITE The Coal That Satisfies is unusually rich in carbon. This means that its heating power is greater than that of ordinary coal. It leaves less ash or waste matter. Lehigh Valley Anthracite is cheaper than other coals because it bums cleaner. It gives a more even, more lasting fire. Order it of your dealer. He should have it.
